My Junior ZooKeeper at 14 months


Brookfield Zoo (1)

Ben turned 14 months a week or so ago...I guess these month "Bdays" are becoming a bit more insignificant as time marches on :) 14 months has been a lot of fun!!! Ben is sleeping FABULOUSLY which is seriously a dream come true for us (an answer to prayer might be a more appropriate statement). He's generally very happy, very active, and very talkative. He has a lot to say, although most of it is unintelligible. He's really becoming good at sign language, which has been an unexpected delight!!! He's a quick learner, for some signs, he learns them only after a few times of us demonstrating. He loves music...first thing in the morning he will go over to the stereo, wildly points and say "THIS", while doing the sign for music. Its great to be able to communicate with each other, it definitely helps reduce some frustration for Ben, I think. These photos were taken at the zoo last week. At the zoo there is a family zoo, which allows kids to really interact and play. Here he is wearing a Junior Zookeeper Outfit and mopping the floor with a play mop :) If you click on this photo you can see him watching the otters!
